$20 GIVEAWAY and EXCERPT: Resist Me by AO Peart and Say When by Tara West
SAY WHEN EXCERPT I don’t know what force of nature compels me to break my “no eye contact” rule. Maybe it is his heady musk, or the warmth radiating off his frame, but when I look into his eyes, I swear I nearly wet my pants. The guy is gorgeous. Warm chocolate eyes, thick lashes, flawless tanned skin, marred only by the slightest bit of stubble on his square jaw. Black hair cut short frames his angular face. And that mouth, so full and sensual, my traitorous lips part as if being compelled to kiss him. When he looks down at me and smiles, I know I’m done for. My knees weaken and I feel the heat rush through my body and spread like wildfire. Damn me for acting the love-struck fool and smiling back. Then his sensual lips part and I think, Oh, gawd, this is it. You’re… Read more »

GIVEAWAY and REVIEW: The Letting by Cathrine Goldstein
REVIEW The Letting was a very original dystopian world where young girls are “grown” and harvested in order to supply some sort of youth serum to a population in a “Utopian” city. It’s a good premise that was captivating and interesting. Veronica billings, or Veronica Killings—as the “rebellion” calls her—is responsible for more deaths than any other Leader in history. The problem is, she doesn’t realize she’s a killer because everything she’s ever been told has been a lie. I thought that was probably the most intriguing thing about this novel. I really liked the fact that no one side was altogether good or evil. There was a lot of moral ambiguity in here. Veronica has a blood type that is rare and which the leader of her government requires to keep him alive – he’s not a vampire! He’s a hemophiliac. So this sets up the conflict. Veronica is… Read more »
$20 GIVEAWAY and EXCERPT: Rumor Has It by Elisabeth Grace
EXCERPT He started to ease the white vest off my shoulders when I came back to my senses. I knew those period panties would come in handy. I pulled away. “Wait, wait.” “What’s wrong?” He looked confused. His eyes darted from side to side like he was trying to assess the problem. “I can’t do this. I’m sorry. I have a rule.” I was panting. “Can we talk about your rules later?” He moved to pull me into him again. “No. Stop,” I mumbled against his lips. I’m sure he was used to girls dropping their drawers the instant he said go but I wasn’t going to be one of them. No matter how badly my body was insisting I should be. “Ten dates. That’s my rule.” “Come again?” His choice of phrasing had my mind swimming in images of the two of us and I fought to keep my… Read more »
